When the dimensions of the material approach is a comparable size to the phonon mean free path, heat flow enters a new regime, the nanoscale. The Fourier and Cattaneo Equations describe bulk heat flow well, but radiative boundary terms must be considered when modeling nanoscale heat flow.

We take these equations and input them into COMSOL with the hope of eventually linking nanoscale and bulk heat flow properties into one simulation.
